web-browser

I will make it short.
On the desktop, iceweasel fails miserably (doesn't respond, is slow, etc).
I am using the laptop right now, from the top of my head it comes with Celeron, 1.6 Gh and 4 Gigs of RAM

I tried konqueror, it works way better, but doesn't work with facebook.
After asking in an IRC channel i wanted to give midori a try, but it doesn't seem to be available.
[email protected]:/home/user# apt-cache search midori
[email protected]:/home/user#

On the laptop, a Gig of Ram and 2 Gh (dual-core) it works ok.

I booted dragora, it comes with firefox 10, and that works good.

The question is:
What to do?
(give up on the web doesn't sound like a bad solution ... :-) ).

nadir . . .what version of iceweasel? Have you tried safe-mode? There is currently a thread on Mozillazine complaining about performance.
May the FORK be with you!

I'm running 38.3.0 with maybe 20 extensions and NP. But I only keep about 10 windows open at a time (this is a tab-free zone). Have you tried safe-mode?

In my case the problem is there with only one tab open. Pretty much nothing works fast enough, to give an example: even clicking on the menubar takes ages, scrolling is sheer horror, reloading pages, etc. . extensions? ca. 5

didn't try safe-mode yet, will do that later.

Run top to see if something is hogging the cpu.
Run memtest to make sure that 4G of ram really works.

With 1.6 GHz, I'd expect it to be slow to open, but not painfully slow. I used to run windows inside vmware on etch with 1.2 GHz and 1G ram, and it was tolerable.

I believe there's an extension for ff that tells you how much ram each tab is using. Or maybe I imagined it. Don't know the name.

safe-mode might be slightly better, but sure is **** too.

And yes, i used this machine a lot with Virtualbox, and it worked fine.

htop reports CPU usage of < 10 %
memory should be fine, but i don't know how to run memtest. Me recalls something bout the boot menu, let me reboot and check that.

As konqueror in refracta and firefox in dragora don't have those problems, i'd rather assume this is an iceweasel problem (either iceweasel itself or this version).

While i am waiting for memtest to finish, i check out netsurf.
now that sure is a fast thing (but fails on facebook too ... urgh).

if in doubt i will upgrade to testing and try midori.

btw: i installed preload and intel-microcode. Perhaps it will help, but i doubt it.

Here's ff-10. http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/misc ... .0.tar.bz2
If you can get it to run on jessie, you can have a fair test.
